About This Item
Leading –and controversial- French intellectual BHL focuses here on the murder of Daniel Pearl, the US journalist kidnapped and beheaded in Pakistan.
Lévy's discovery, or contention, is that Pearl's death was a 'state crime' committed in effect by the Pakistani government, because Pearl knew too much about the links between its secret service, nuclear scientists and al-Qaeda. The book led Lévy on a year-long quest he admits became something of an obsession.
Book is in very good condition. Pages are intact, clean, unmarked and uncreased. Cloth covers are clean and tight. The dust jacket is unclipped, complete, and in a very good state with just minor shelf wear at the top edge. The book is inscribed by Levy which is not too common especially in English. Now covered in professional removable clear book cover. Photos are as always of the actual book we are selling. 454 pp
Synopsis
BERNARD-HENRI LÉVY is one of France's most famous philosophers and one of the bestselling writers in Europe. One of the world's preeminent journalists, he began his career as a war reporter for Combat, the famous underground newspaper founded by Camus. Lévy covered the war between Pakistan and India over Bangladesh. His 1977 book Barbarism With a Human Face caused the kind of sensation that Camus' The Rebel incited in the 1950's, and since then, Lévy's novels and essays have continued to stir up such excitement that The Guardian recently noted he is "accorded the kind of adulation in France that most countries reserve for their rock stars."
